EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating etching titled "Gentlemen taking the Et cetera oath; horseback procession accompanying the released pamphleteers to London, 1642" offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history. Created by Wenceslaus Hollar, this print captures the essence of religious and political turmoil during the English Civil War. Intriguingly, the image showcases Puritan pamphleteers Mr Burton, Dr Bastwick, and Mr Prynne as they are escorted on horseback towards London. These individuals had been imprisoned for their opposition to King Charles I's controversial Et Cetera oath imposed on clergy. The Long Parliament's decision to release them in 1640 was met with great enthusiasm from those who opposed royalist rule. This powerful illustration not only highlights the struggle between church and state but also serves as a testament to the power of propaganda during that era. It sheds light on how religion played an instrumental role in shaping politics and society at large. Hollar's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his etching, capturing both the determination of these gentlemen as well as their profound impact on English society. This artwork stands as a reminder of our rich historical past and invites us to reflect upon themes such as freedom of speech, religious liberty, and political resistance that continue to resonate today.
